What are you suggesting we do exactly? Go through our whole day (on a specific day or in general?) or just write a thing or two about the day or did you have something else in mind?
It sounds interesting; I just want to know what you're looking for __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

This doesn't include my mood shifts. This is an average day for me on medication.

Wake up . First thought is what time is it; second thought is I need to pee; third thought is about the horrible thing that happened to me a year ago this month (though my reactions are getting to be less as time goes by).

I drank some alcohol tonight, so am waiting til later to take my meds and go to bed.
I know I shouldn’t drink with the meds I’m on, but it’s so tempting since my husband drinks .The problem is, alcohol keeps me awake… |

Moose, at least you get to the gym! I’ve been trying for months. ( if I got that wrong- drunk)
Anyway have you asked for Xanax or klonopin for your anxiety? I never tell them I drink because I know they’d never give me my Xanax! I’m just very careful. I hope you get some relief.. |

The day has constantly shifting emotions. Emptiness, cravings, anger, anger, anger, cravings, anxiety, shame, paranoia, jubilation, anger, anger, anger, empty, numb, anger, fear, paranoia, cravings, elation, etc. From midnight to midnight, getting a break for 1-3 hours at a time since I've started free-sleeping. Tried doing something more detailed and linear/chronological, but it felt too long and I couldn't keep up.
Lately it feels like demons steal my thoughts and sell them to the Devil who intensifies the negativity and puts them back in my head. Throughout the day I hear his voice saying stuff he said while I thought I was finally receiving attention I desperately wanted, but was being traumatized in the process. Constant thoughts about it. Also the robot trying to protect me by telling me what to do, like lock doors and windows and use before I really hurt myself. Dressing well, but then realizing I may attract attention and progressively dressing down every ten minutes until I'm in a flannel or T-shirt and either sweats or PJ pants. But also lots of cuddling with Bean and rubbing his belly and letting him knead me. He is better than any med I've ever taken and I wish he didn't feel the need to patrol the region all day __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |
